Buckingham Throttle – advanced climbing and ascent device for SRS and MRS
Buckingham Throttle is one of the most exciting launches in ascent equipment in years. This is an extremely user-friendly climbing device that can be attached mid-rope (midline attachable) and allows you to quickly and easily switch between MRS and SRS – completely without loose parts or tools.
Everything about the Throttle is designed with a focus on simplicity, fluidity, and safety. Adjust the friction with a few button presses, use large and solid attachment points that fit the carabiner you prefer, and climb safely without worrying about a misinstalled prusik or parts that can be lost.
